happening now, ready to strike. president obama's plan in syria gets the green light as air strikes in iraq get help from a new partner. plus, new clues, investigators

on the hunt for a missing virginia college student. hannah graham was not alone the night she disappeared. and it's one of the biggest ipos ever, but chances are you've probably never even heard of the chinese company about to make $25 billion on the new york stock exchange today. let's talk, live in the cnn newsroom. good morning, i'm carol costello. thank you so much for joining me. we begin with the international fight against isis. just a few hours ago, france's president confirmed his warplanes conducted their first air strikes against the terror group in iraq. this as u.s. air strikes successfully hit an isis stronghold, a training camp southeast of mosul. despite steady gains by the terrorist group, the white house is firm, though, no boots on the ground. in the meantime, the senate has given the go-ahead to president obama to arm and train syrian rebels. but the president's strategy

could face challenges. u.s. military officials tell cnn isis is modifying and adjusting its behavior ahead of additional air strikes. let's begin our coverage with jim acosta, good morning, jim. >> good morning, carol. president obama's plan to defeat isis has cleared a major hurdle. congress has now bought into the president's strategy -- at least the part they can vote on. >> the joint resolution is passed. >> just before speeding out of washington for the midterm elections, congress gave president obama the green light to arm and train syrian rebels in the war on isis. >> the strong bipartisan support in congress for this new training effort shows the world that americans are united in confronting the threat from isil. >> reporter: the senate approved the measure attached to a must-pass spending bill by an overwhelming margin. but potential gop presidential contenders were divided with senator marco rubio voting yes and ted cruz and rand paul saying no, noting that congress declined to authorize the

president's overall strategy, paul dubbed mr. obama's battle plan "one man's war." >> he was running against the wars of the previous administration and people voted for him for that very reason and he became part of a problem. >> reporter: despite the endorsement from congress for at least part of the president's strategy, lawmakers were voicing doubts to defense secretary chuck hagel. >> if this plan doesn't work, what is the alternative. ? what does it look like in the middle east then? >> we always have plan "b" and plan "c," that's what the military does as well as anybody in the world. but we believe this plan will work. >> reporter: the obama administration is pointing to the stepped-up air campaign against isis that u.s. military officials say took out a terrorist training camp in some of the latest strikes. >> i can tell you that i don't think these guys are ten feet tall and the intelligence tells us that as we've begun to hit them, we've been able to prove that to some degree.

>> reporter: president obama welcomed france's decision to join the coalition in conducting air strikes on isis, a sign the battle against the terrorist group is just heating up. >> as americans, we do not give into fear and when you harm our citizens, when you threaten the united states, when you threaten our allies, it doesn't divide us, it unites us. >> reporter: the president will be pushing to expand the coalition when he makes the rounds at the united nations next week in new york city. this weekend he heads to camp david where he's likely to receive more updates from his national security team on the fight against isis. carol? >> jim acosta ta from the white house. former president bill clinton is weighing in. on the "daily show" with jon stewa stewart, president obama stressed the only the iraqi people can win a land war in iraq. >> so the reason i think that the president's strategy to combat isis has a chance to

succeed is that the iraqi government finally includes sunnis who were representing those tribal leaders who are moderate and without whom isis cannot be defeated. we can't win a land war in iraq, we've proved that. but they can. and we can help them win it. and that's got to be what we're trying to do. >> the former president also emphasizes the importance of a strategy that provides intelligence support to local forces. clinton cede price will be paid for the beheadings. isis has released a new slickly produced hostage video. it shows a british journalist, john cantli, reading a prepared script. we're only showing you a still from the video because cantli makes clear that he is under duress. the message clearly targets the west saying the united states cannot win a war against isis and cantli says it will be followed by other messages continuing that same theme.

also new this morning, dozens of british muslim leaders have signed an open letter calling for the release of alan henning. the british journalist is also under the threat of execution. let's talk about it all. retired lieutenant general mark herd ling is a cnn analyst and karl penhaul joins us from london. welcome to both of you. >> good morning, carol. >> first to you, carl. how are the british reacting to the threat to two of its citizens? >> well, people are absolutely horrified. certainly the threats against alan henning seems to have been what has galvanized this repulsion. why? because he wasn't a journalist, he wasn't a trained aid worker. this guy was a cab driver. he was a taxi driver with a heart of gold, he was persuaded by some of his muslim friends to go out and take some aid to syria and he ended up giving up christmas, family time and weekends to do just that. and now he's being caught and so

i think a lot of britons feel that this is every man, the guy next door who went out to do his bit and now he's been nabbed and this is what is horrify ago lot of people, carol. >> general, the other video where we saw mr. cantly, a journalist, and he was clearly under duress while he was making this video supposedly on behalf of isis. what do you suppose isis' strategy is here? >> this is a mini series, carol. they're trying to expand their cyber war. carl will tell you he walked through the middle east, there are people selling videos like this to pull people in, internet after fays advertising these videos and now they're looking for the west to generate support.

it's not just the support for those who behead, it's going to be a series of video, as they've described, that are going to appeal to a different class of people. so they're trying to suck people into this horrific organization. >> and, karl, you brought up an interesting theory about what mr. cantli be doing by, i don't know, agreeing to do this video? >> yeah, i just wonder because that video is so different from the way other hostages have been treated and john cantlie is not the only photojournalist. james foley and john cantlie were both kidnapped at the same time, they were traveling back in november, twael, when they were kidnapped so let's keep our minds open on this until we know a little bit more. i just wonder whether, in fact, this might be a scheme that john cantlie was able to cook up, use his silver tongue to maybe buy

some time for himself, prolong his own life, offering to maybe do this mini series. at one point in the speech he gives he says, yes, okay, i am a prison, of course, but i also feel abandoned by my own government. so i just wonder whether this is a kind of guam to believe get more time and maybe buy back his own life, carol. >> general, do you think there are operatives still looking for these hostages? >> absolutely. we are continuing, i think, as a coalition force, not the u.s. but the uk and and others gathering intel zwroeligence to where these people are holding 's this hostages and there is potential for future attempts at rescues. we're gleaning intelligence from these videos and the more that are produced the more intelligence we can clean. >> general hertling, karl

penha penhaul, thanks to both of you, i appreciate it. we have new details about a military investigation into the nfl. yes, into the nfl. our pentagon correspondent barbara starr live at the pentagon with some exclusive information. why? >> well, good morning, carol. i don't know that we can call it an investigation just yet, i don't think it's there. but, indeed, what cnn has learned is that defense secretary chuck hagel has now asked his senior staff for detailed information about the u.s. military's relations with the national football league in the wake of this still-growing scandal about whether the nfl is really committed to handling domestic abuse incidents. of course, the u.s. military has a zero-tolerance policy in its ranks for domestic abuse, yet it is a major financial, economic, and community supporter of the nfl. so what has happened is hagel is

asking his staff "give me all the information about the nfl." a senior official telling me he wants that in case now with all of this going on he decides it's time to make some changes in that relationship. the army alone, for example, spends about $10 million a year with the broadcast networks buying advertising for nfl games. there are very long and deep community relationships. we see it all the time, military personnel at nfl events singing the national anthem, drill teams flyovers, a lot of community support, a lot of community outreach from the u.s. military to the national football league and, of course, it goes without saying that the national football league viewership to a large extent is a significant demographic, young people, that the u.s. military tries to reach out to for recruiting. so this -- you know, there's no indication yet that anything has been decided, that anything will

be changed, but this is a very significant step forward in the pentagon saying wait a minute, we want to see exactly what's going on here with the national football league and decide if we want to keep our relationship going with them. carol? >> barbara starr reporting live for us this morning, thank you. in other news, she is one of at least four women who have been v gone missing in virginia over the last five years. university of virginia sophomore hannah graham was last heard from on september 13 when she left a party. then she sent a text message to friends. police are hoping new surveillance images could help them construct a sort of timeline. these images show a man following hannah on foot near a downtown charlottesville mall. legal view anchor ashleigh banfield joins me now to help us devil into this case. so police have a person of interest, right? who is this person? >> kind of and kind of not. it's a very weird series of

videos they've been trying to put together and by the way, we're now at about a week. she was seen having dinner from her friends and then sent out a cryptic text late friday night into saturday morning saying "i'm lost." they think she might have been under the influence of alcohol but those videos, one of the men that was pictured in the follow videos went to the police and said "i saw her, i was folg log following her because she looked distressed. then i saw another man and they appeared to know each other and i backed away. >> that's the person of interest, though. >> that could be a person of interest. so that's the story of the first person. >> we're putting the description up that the police gave to us of this person of interest. >> from the man who was seen in the video. whether they've got the video or not of him we're not exactly sure of that at this point. we know there's $50,000 for anybody throughout who might know something. here's what's weird. she's seen on a bunch of different videos and she's seen stopping in front of a pub door. there are other people there.

she might have even spoken to someone in front of that doorway and they want these people to come forward to tell us what was her condition, what were the things she was saying. was she lost? was she drunk? was she confused? was she with someone? because she just effectively vanished and now her parents are putting out a statement saying "help us. we are beyond devastated." imagine the parents right now. here we are early september who sent their kids off to college and they are just hoping to god they never get a story like this. she's a sophomore. >> and to make matters more worrisome for her parents, other young women have gone missing and have never been found. >> four in virginia in the past five years. they're not making any connections between them but one that might stand out if you think you've heard this story before, 2009, there was a young woman by the name of morgan harrington, she went missing as well and her fate was terrible. her remains turned up on a nearby farm. police are not making the link. they're not saying there's any connection.

they don't even say there' foul place in the case of hannah but at the same time the police chief is saying "if i were a parent, i'd be worried." so that's distressing to hear that. the message is, if you're out there, if you know anything about this young woman -- >> pick up the phone. >> mcgrady's pub. if you were at mcgrady's pub last saturday morning, 12:52 a.m., 1:00 in the morning friday night, saturday morning, call the police and let them know. we have a family that's desperate here. >> and i'm sure you'll talk more about this on your show coming up. >> you got it. >> ashleigh banfield, thanks so much. still to come, chinese e-commerce giant ali baba said to go public. >> the weight is on for ali baba to set foot on the stage and make its debut. what's happening while we wait? i'll explain after this. . you fifteen percent or more on huh, fiftcar insurance.uld save yeah, everybody knows that. well, did you know that playing cards

kind of a heads up that trade willing begin soon when john q. public for the first time will have a chance to get in and buy alibaba shares for the first time, carol. >> so what's the big thing we should be watching for today? >> the big thick that everybody will be watching for is the price. early investors got in at $68. those were the early investors. but the end game here, at least for the day, is that the showing is strong, meaning investors don't want to see this stock drop below $68 at the close, they want to see it higher if not at least keep that $68. it's all about smoke and mirrors, at least for that number. you think about what happened with facebook, it was a big flop. this is a memorable moment and alibaba doesn't want it to flop like facebook did on its big day in part because of technical glitches at the nasdaq. carol? >> that would be embarrassing. alison kosik live from the new york stock exchange, thank you. still to come, nfl legend jerry rice speaks out on

as i told you a little while ago in the newsroom, the dean see's women's leadership forum is now under way. hillary clinton expected to speak noon eastern time but speaking right now, vice president joe biden and he had very passionate remarks on domestic violence.

listen. >> i was absolutely convinced from the outset -- as i am now, by the way -- that if we force the american people to take a close look at the face of violence, the face of domestic violence, to look into the eyes of the women who were abused, in every social strata, every income level, doctors as brutal as plumbers, football players as brutal as professors, no distinction. >> vice president joe biden. others at the white house also responding to the nfl's handling of its recent abuse controversy saying the league needs to "get a handle on the situation since so many young people look up to these players as role models." this as yet another player has been charged with domestic violence. police say arizona cardinals

running backthan dwyer head-butted her wife, breaking her nose after she refused his sexual advances in july. the wife says he later texted her a picture of a knife threatening to kill her and the couple's son if she told police about the assault. rachel nichols is here. she talked with legendary nfl receiver jerry rice about his thoughts on the nfl's current troubles. >> jerry rice is the greatest wide receiver of all time. he is a hall of famer. he's someone who's usually very protective about the nfl. but he's as angry as the rest of us right now. when i interviewed him, he says he thinks roger goodell has been known as a commissioner that drops the hammer and he wants to see that hammer dropped a lot more harshly on the people involved in these cases. and that includes ray mcdonald. we've been talking about him on the this show, that he was arrested for assaulting his pregnant fiance but he has not been charged yet. the 49ers have let him continue on the field and i asked jerry rice about it.

but then you have coach jim harbaugh insisting mcdonald does have a right to play until he's charged. what do you think? >> i think, you know, i'm with steve young. ray mcdonald, he should be off that football field. he should not have the opportunity to continue playing right now because, you know, i feel with domestic violence it's a very touchy conversation but it's something that we have to address and we have to deal with. >> jerry, of course, stressed that, hey, there's more good stories, there are good players in this league as opposed to the bad ones getting headlines but, carol, that's more of the reason to get the bad ones out. >> you have to wonder at this point what it will take to make this controversy die down, right? what can the nfl do? >> i think people have to feel there is a concrete step being taken and these press releases we're getting from the league about hey, we've added women to our executive pool, that's great, but it doesn't feel like

the major concrete answer tha s such a giant problem deserves. roger goodell earned $44.2 million last year. people are holding him accountable to come forward, lead, solve this problem, address in the a big way because it's a big problem and little solutions won't help. >> and currently we haven't seen much of him, right? s where he? >> you have to think after he took so much criticism after that cbs interview he gave maybe the p. r. people said "let's pull back, let's not make you the face of this anymore. hey, i'm not a p. r. executive, maybe that's buy the book the right call but it's leading people question whether the leadership here and it's leading to inconsistency because when each team is left to do things on their own you have what the vikings did over this past week which is deactivate adrian peterson, reactivate adrian peterson again. you need a strong hand from the national football league, from the center office. >> rachel nichols, thanks as always, i appreciate it.

you can watch all of the jerry rice interview on "unguarded" are rachel nichols tonight, 10:30 on cnn. fear and anxiety in rural pennsylvania where the han hunt for an accused cop killer intensifies. jason carol following the trail. >> no doubt about it. you are right. a lot of anxiety out here, still investigators are receiving credible tips about eric frein's whereabouts. i'll have the details coming up. i've always loved exploring and looking for something better. that's the way i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin.

two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve . while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

the hunt for an accused cop killer intensifies putting small towns in rural pennsylvania on high alert. the fbi has added suspect eric frein to its ten most-wanted list. they're offering a $100,000 reward for his capture. frein is suspected of gunning dune pennsylvania state trooper and wounding another before disappearing into the woods. let's bring in jason carol in blooming grove, pennsylvania with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, carol. last might the focus of the search seemed to focus on a small town in pennsylvania where eric frein grew up. basically, the reason far is because investigators received a credible tip yesterday that frein was in the area. and so what they did, they responded with a heavy police

presence, armored cars, helicopters in the area as well. in fact, at one point we were driving around, we saw search taking place. at one point they blocked off the neighborhood where frein lived with his parents, not allowing residents to return for several hours. the reason, carol, they're basically responding this way to credible tips, for two reasons -- first, given frein's violent and deadly history and, two, because they have strong reason to believe that he is not far away. >> at this point, we have additional reason to believe that the subject still remains in the area. we're fairly confident of that information. so while we continue to follow up on any other tips or leads that we get regardless of where those are, we have really focused our search efforts over a fairly broad geographic area. >> another point to all this, carol, is that investigators have a very strong case that

they're building up here. they have a lot of information, they say, some of this information they are holding back simply because they believe that frein may have access to news reports and may be listening in. carol? >> i just wonder how drens those woods behind you? >> very dense. and vast, as you heard one of the investigators there explaining. covering a large, large area. and, as you know, carol, this is a man who is a self-described survivalist. he knows these woods, he knows the backwoods very well, knows how to survive out there. having said that, what investigators do is basically are working on a grid pattern. basically sort of systematically crossing off areas they've checked, abandoned cabins, campsites, things like that hoping that will sam way help them narrow their search but once again they are receiving a number of credible tips that leads them to believe he's somewhere nearby. >> jason carroll, many thanks to you. let's talk more about frein and

the so-called military simulation group he hung out with. tom fuentes is a cnn law enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director. welcome, tom. >> good morning, carol. >> so this survivalist group frein belonged to, we don't know the name of it, but we do know participants pretended they were eastern european soldiers during the cold war. they didn't use real guns. what do you make of this? >> well, strictly speaking, they may not be what you would call survivalist groups. survivalist groups a are usually anti-federal government, they're planning for armageddon or the takeover of the government and the ability to survive in the woods or in a shelter or if a long period of time without electricity, without additional food or water, that would be stockpiled or live off the land if they're capable. so that's a little bit different than these reenactment group, typically. and here in the washington, d.c. area we have civil war

reenactment groups that reenact the bats of bull run and gettysburg. in those reenactments they're carrying black powder weapons with blanks from civil war technology. in these modern groups, they're carrying -- you see the pictures of him with an ak-47, which was the weapon of choice, the kalashnikov made the the soviet union during the cold war. later the weapon of choice of terrorists everywhere. so it's a commonly seen weapon. you see isis walking around with ak-47s strapped around their neck. >> it's just strange because at some point frein must have crossed the line from fantasy into reality because frein claims he fought with serbian fighters in africa. authorities found information regarding foreign embassies in his abandoned vehicle along with camouflage face paint and military gear. clearly he's delusional, right? >> right now we don't know the extent of his mental health

condition and how his mental health is progressing over from childhood learning how to operate weapons. what we do know is he's proficient with a sniper rifle, which is what he used to kill the police officer, and he used a .308 caliber rifle which is a weapon of choice by military and law enforcement snipers all over and big game hunters, unfortunately. and that's an enormous bullet. the speed of sound is 1,100 feet per sect. the bullet travels at 2,800 feet. so the person would be shot and dead before the sound even hits their location. >> so this search for frein is dangerous, obviously, but once police pinpoint his location, do they go about capturing him? >> well, they're going try to isolate him if they can, if they can contain him, if he becomes essentially a barricaded subject that will make life a little bit easier, hopefully he won't have a hostage. we don't know if maybe he's

conducted a home invasion seeking shelter, water, food, and electricity to keep his electronic gear powered if that's important to him. so we just don't know what the condition is. he could have buried himself in a hole and shot and killed himself which would be next to impossible to find and even the infrared lenses of the helicopters flying over, if his body is dead and grows colder and colder, it won't show up on infrared imagery. so this is a very difficult search. if he's still alive and still has the weapons and ammunition, he's got the advantage. he can shoot police officers from 500 yards away, they'll never know what happened. >> tom fuentes, thanks so much for your insight, i appreciate it. all right, we have breaking news about missing uva student hannah graham. according to officials, police in charlottesville are executing search warrants. it's unclear where those search

warrants are taking place, be awe cnn team on the ground in virginia is at a local apartment complex where there is heavy police activity. police are putting up crime scene tape. as soon as we have more information, of course, we'll pass it along to you. still to come on the newsroom, the united kingdom stays united after an historic referendum vote. after weeks of campaigning, the majority of scots rejekd nuclear weapons. nick robertson has more. hi, nick. >> carol, scotland decides to remain part of the united kingdom. even so, big political changes ahead. more on that after the break.
